In a surprise announcement on Wednesday, June 28, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend shared the exciting news of their newest addition to the family. Their fourth child, a son named Wren Alexander Stephens, was born on June 19, 2023, through the help of a surrogate.
The celebrity couple, who had kept the pregnancy private until now, expressed their gratitude and happiness for the arrival of their baby boy. This special moment comes just five months after the birth of their daughter Esti.
The journey leading up to Wren’s birth was marked by personal challenges for Chrissy Teigen and John. They tragically experienced the loss of their son Jack at 20 weeks into Chrissy’s pregnancy, which deeply affected them. Uncertain about carrying another child, they decided to explore surrogacy as an option.
After reaching out to a surrogacy agency in 2021, Chrissy and John initially considered the possibility of having two simultaneous surrogates. However, during the process, Chrissy had a change of heart and expressed her desire to try carrying a child herself once more. This decision led them to restart the IVF process and create new embryos. The couple also had the fortune of meeting Alexandra, their incredible surrogate, who became an integral part of their journey.
Despite initial setbacks and the emotional toll, Alexandra’s perseverance and selflessness shone through.
The first embryo transfer did not result in a successful pregnancy, but they remained patient. As Chrissy’s own pregnancy progressed, they received the joyous news that Alexandra was pregnant with a little boy—Wren.
In her heartfelt message, Chrissy Teigen expressed her admiration and gratitude for Alexandra’s immense sacrifice. She described the deep connection they formed and the dreams they shared for their children. The momentous day arrived on June 19th, as Chrissy witnessed the birth of Wren with awe and love.
Chrissy and John expressed their sincere appreciation to Alexandra for the incredible gift she had given them. They also honoured her by choosing the middle name Alexander for their son. In their hearts and home, Wren Alexander Stephens completes their family.
In the midst of their joy, Chrissy and John acknowledged their beloved son Jack, whose presence will forever be felt. They thanked him for the angel kisses he shares with their newest addition.
The Teigen-Legend family, now with Luna, Miles, Esti, and Wren, celebrates the arrival of their precious son, cherishing the love and happiness that fills their lives.
